Why does jeans shopping have to be so difficult?
Now Playing: Rancid - Radio Havana
We went shopping for jeans over the weekend. I currently own one pair of jeans in my actual size, and Jimmy's jeans were getting worn out, so the shopping excursion was needed.

After hitting a couple of stores, I once again was faced with the incredible lack of jeans that actually are made to fit the female body. Jimmy tried on about six pairs of jeans - they all fit. I tried on about 10 pairs - different brands, different styles - none of them fit. Actually, to be correct, they fit the front part of my body fine. And most of the back. But, as usual, any jeans that fit my butt are too big in the back of the waist.

Now, I don't have this problem when I buy dress pants or khakis, just jeans. Honestly, why is it so hard to design jeans that don't gape in the back? I even tried on a pair that specifically said it would not gape in the back... and it did.

Total side note - I had this post pretty much done, and the dog needed to be walked. Keep in mind that Violet is the calmest, friendliest dog we've known, and usually, when she meets new people, just wants to be loved. However, she does try to protect me from what she perceives as threats (the cable guy, the FedEx guy, etc.) So we're out walking our usual route, and two Mormons on their mission try to say hello to Violet. What does the sweet little puppy do? Bark like mad, with the deepest tone I've ever heard from her. Pretty darn funny - I felt bad for the guys.
